Emerging from hiatus to do a belated cover drop here too. FIND ME WHERE IT ENDS is my next novella and the very first book that I've written that contains no gore.

Not a drop.

(Maybe someone getting bitten by a protective doggo BUT)

Bettina (Garner for Gold) loves her children equally, but since Cristoval is the only mortal in their family he needed her more. This disappointed Cosima, though she understood that as a Godling she didn't require the same care. They work it out, but it strains the relationship.

I read a decent regency era book (basically pride & predjudice fanfic) & it was good, however...now I'm an adult I just can't get over the first cousin marriage thing being common back then. Yuck ๐Ÿ’€

And if you're interested in the series I pitched to my editor as "Sephiroth and Joan of Arc team up against Emet-Selch from FFXIV in a BERSERK inspired tale" then you should start with THE RADIANT KING!

Cover for Daughter of Destruction by David Dalglish - tagline, Blood is thicker than water.

Cover shows an armored blond woman drawing a sword with a winged-eye as its hilt. She stands before a red stained glass window showcasing an angelic being with multiple eyes.

The second book of The Astral Kingdoms Trilogy now has both a name and a cover!

DAUGHTER OF DESTRUCTION

Thank you so much, @magalivilleneuve.bsky.social, for such incredible artwork. I could not have envisioned a more perfect representation of Isabelle.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying โ€œART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.โ€, the goat adds โ€œTHEIR HUMANITY.โ€

One character I thought would be somewhat neutral or outright disliked ended up becoming the fan favorite. (Sovanna, Garner for Gold).
Also, when readers actually appreciate my flowery style rather than complain that I take my time...that feels amazing.

Hot take: donโ€™t hate-read books. One wild and precious life, and you want to spend it mad? DNF and go find something you like.

Talking about books I labored over for almost a decade now but still suffer intense embarrassment over when it comes to my delivery (of how difficult it is to sum things up in a snappy pitch or fun graphic) is also humiliating lol but it must be done

Scrolling through my social medias to gather whatever pitches I've done for my books, & contrary to my own belief I apparently haven't posted a ton? I mean, there's a reasonable amount of promo, but I think it's not a lot compared to what many authors do. Even on threads where I'm more active.

None of them have been as splashy as I dreamed, but that's to be expected. I've been focusing these years on building a backlist so I have plenty of books to talk about. I learn stuff with each book I publish no matter what. No way forward but ahead...or something like that.

Artwork of Kye and Jude from Name Her Holy, with a tweet overtop that reads โ€œwould you date the unwilling vessel for several ancient and unknown deities? Be honestโ€ฆโ€

Kye is cradling Judeโ€™s jaw in her hand leaning in to kiss her, Jude is happily going along with it

Everyday the CHR draft torments me, especially on days I donโ€™t have any time to write

The thing about having *good* chronic illness days, is that you get excited and do all the things.

But then the next day is a *bad* chronic illness day, and youโ€™re reminded that you are, in fact, still disabled. Youโ€™re not magically cured. It was just a good day

Worth it though. I had SO much fun!
